VBox install Fails on Fedora 20

Post by sundance123 »

Its my first time installing vbox on a linux host. I've downloaded the rpm for 5.0.14 (The AMD64) and burned it to a disc. When I run the rpm on the Fedora host it begins to install then says a transaction error has occured. When I look in var/logs/vbox its just empty, no logs were written. Any ideas or tips to resolve the issue? Thanks

5.0.14 is way, way too old. Where in the seven kingdoms did you find it? ;)
Please download the latest version from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Unfortunately our experiment environment is using a tool that requires 5.0.14
